in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone,

I am new to this site and was introduced through a coworker/friend. Although it's only day two on this site already I am very excited.
I have been tracking my food and exercise and being accountable for my actions I feel will keep me motivated. You know we all say " oh I am going to join.... and I am going to lose ..... by ...." And we all start out strong but then we have a bad day at work or our kids have been fighting in the other room while you are trying to clean up from dinner and before you know it, you've fallen off the wagon. You accept one day to just relax and it turns into 2,3,4,5 and before you know it it's been weeks. I have a motivation. My best friend is getting married in August and I NEED to lose this weight and get back into shape. I do not want to be the fat bridesmaid hiding in the back of the pictures anymore. I have a great support system and although my boyfriend means well telling me I am beautiful just the way I am, it doesn't help some days when I need that extra push. hehehe
Well day 2 here I am and here to stay for a while.
- Christina

    @Sue - That's amazing! I wish I had the knees to do a 5K. A couple of months ago I tore my meniscus. As much as it's in an area that can heal itself the doctor has told me that I need to start out at low impact. The pain I experienced with that was enough to scare me to pieces to want to do a 5K. I wish you the best of luck and I know you can do it! Keep up the great work!!!

    @Kp- She is a fitness instructor and nutritionist. She's been a great help and motivator. I can't wait to start seeing the results! Congrats on the 29 lbs lost already! What an accomplishment!
